  so, i'm downtown quite early the other morning while still dark and i see a man holding an awake.

  so, i pull over and wave him over.

  after a few words of cordiality, i ask him why jehovah's witnesses teach that jesus returned invisibly in 1914 when jesus himself said this:in matthew 24:.

  i dont often post on here but lurk everday.

  i was an elder for 11 years, raised as a witness from birth and eventually left in 2002 aged 42.. my dad died on friday aged 87. he was a witness baptized in 1940. he was congregation servant and then elder in hull, england.. we were arranging his funeral tonight with my 2 brothers who are still witness elders.

  all they were interested in was what he had done in the "truth".

  "Trinitarians" how can you "lie" to the truth? Is truth a person?

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was talking to this jw's elder who i believe has to be the best debater against the "trinity" doctrine that jw's have he brought up several point which i feel needs to be addressed by trinitarians.

  first of all he argured that acts 5:3-4 about lying to the holy spirit in no way makes the holy spirit a person any more that "lying to the truth" in james makes "truth" a person.

  i have never seen that verse before about lying to the truth.

  is living a simple life without debt or very little better than trying to have it all and having it now?.

  i see this all the time in my line of work and the toll it takes on people, marriages and families.

  Patti Smith XJW inducted into Music Hall of Fame!

  by anewme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this afternoon i heard on national public radio that poet/songwriter patti smith will be inducted into the musical hall of fame later this week.

  an interview with terri gross from 1996 detailed her early life as a jehovah's witness.

  she spoke respectfully of the jws and her memory of her mother and father and early family life, but spoke candidly that she did not like the teachings and restrictions and never felt she fit in.

  Has anyone ever adopted a village or driven a truck of supplies overseas?

  by Qcmbr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my friend and i are mulling over the idea of doing something like this and yet we are so naive and know so little about the practicalities of such an exercise that we don't even know if we have the capacity to do this.

  has anyone ever done anything like this and would share what was involved?

  if its too scary i'll just donate toys to the hospital..
